A Classic Car Tour Through Yorkshire’s Grandest Roads An exceptional touring experience through the sweeping landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, based at the refined Coniston Hotel Country Estate & Spa. This elegant retreat near Skipton offers a luxurious base from which to explore some of Northern England’s most scenic and storied roads. This is a journey designed for driving purists, history lovers, and those who savour the pleasures of the open road - where every mile reveals a new vista, a characterful pub, or a hidden gem in God’s Own Country. Route highlights include the Ribblehead viaduct, cruise along winding dales roads to this iconic feat of Victorian engineering. The dramatic backdrop of the Three Peaks frames one of the most photogenic moments of the tour. Buttertubs Pass – One of the UK’s most thrilling driving roads. This high moorland route between Hawes and Swaledale delivers tight twists, sweeping bends, and unforgettable views. Forest of Bowland – Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this quieter, less-travelled region offers serene, sinuous roads and rich wildlife, connecting beautifully to the Dales and adding variety to your driving adventure. Throughout the tour, you’ll experience the unique character of the Yorkshire Dales — dry stone walls tracing rolling hills, sheep-dotted fells, and winding country roads that seem tailor-made for vintage driving.
